Art Deco cocktail jiggers, 1930s

Essential tools for the modern bar: two practical and stylish cocktail measures or ‘jiggers’

(On left) a large silver-plated cocktail measure in ‘new-old-stock’ condition made by the American firm of Napier, known for their ‘Artillery Shell’ cocktail shakers, of which this is highly reminiscent. An added feature is a detachable, fully working music box in the base, which plays ‘How Dry I am’ when wound! With a gilded interior, the measure starts at a double, up to six measures. American, circa 1930.
